Frequently asked questions
How much is the 18 Day 4 Star Shifting Hajj Package?
Pricing begins at £7,795 per person sharing a quad room, rising to £8,350 on triple sharing and £8,995 on double sharing. Because this is a land-only package, international flights are arranged separately for an extra charge.
Which Makkah hotel is used on this package?
The journey opens with three nights of half board at a Makkah Central hotel, either the Movenpick Hajar Tower or the Swissotel Al Maqam, both within walking distance of Masjid al-Haram. This Makkah hotel is the key step up from the Aziziya-only Economy options.
What is meant by 'dual-shift'?
Pilgrims stay at the Makkah Central hotel ahead of Hajj, move to Aziziya for the days of Hajj as the first shift, then return to Aziziya after Mina as the second shift, before finishing in Madinah. Both Aziziya stays are close to Mina for straightforward transfers.
Do flights and Qurbani come with the package?
No. As a land-only package, international flights are booked independently and Qurbani is handled by each pilgrim. Included are the Saudi Hajj visa, accommodation in Makkah, Aziziya and Madinah, the Mina tents and transport throughout the Kingdom.
Who is this package suited to?
It is intended for UK-based Pakistani passport holders who want a Makkah Central hotel near the Haram, with the Saudi Hajj visa granted under the Pakistan Hajj quota. Women may perform Hajj without a Mahram by travelling with the group.
